Floating Mosque of Palu, Islamic place of worship in Palu City, Indonesia.
The Floating Mosque of Palu is a place of worship that extends over Palu Bay with a floor area of about 121 square meters. The structure features five domes with Middle Eastern design elements and accommodates roughly 200 worshippers.
The building was constructed in 2011 and named after Datuk Karama, a Muslim scholar from the 17th century in West Sumatra. This scholar played an important role in spreading Islam to the Palu region.
The mosque serves as a gathering place for the local Muslim community during daily prayers and religious holidays. You can observe worshippers coming together for their spiritual practice and celebrations throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the mosque through guided tours and learn about its architectural features. It is recommended to wear respectful clothing and check visiting hours in advance.
The domes of the structure display seven different colors at night: red, orange, green, purple, blue, pink, and white. This lighting system creates a special visual effect as darkness falls over the bay.
